• Drafting and reviewing a wide range of mainly commercial agreements across tech, retail, licencing and beyond.
• Giving strategic legal advice to the internal business units across corporate governance, regulatory, commercial, employment and general risk.
• Picking up whatever legal work comes through the door and figuring it out.
• Supporting operational matters across the project.
• External counsel management.

• Common law qualified, with a PQE guideline of around 4-10 years.
• In-house experience is strongly preferred, although law firm secondments will suffice.
• Generalist skill set across a wide variety of commercial contracts.
• Strong negotiation and drafting skills.
